When insulin producing cells have been destroyed is it type 1 or type 2 diabetes?

the Answer is type 1 Diabetes. why? its because since the insulin producing cell called "beta cell" have been destroyed. hence the pancreas do not produce insulin at all.
(1). The pancreas makes little or no insulin. and inability of insulin to circulating in the bloodstream, glucose cannot enter body cells. As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream.
(2). Without insulin in the blood, the liver cannot absorb glucose. Instead, the liver releases some of the glucose it has stored into the bloodstream. and finally
(3). Absence of insulin in the blood, body cells cannot accept glucose. Too much glucose builds up in the bloodstream, resulting in the medical problems associated with diabetes.

What can Diabetes cause?
Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.
What cost dibets?
Diabetes is caused by lack of insulin due to destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
What cells will type 1 diabetes damage?
Type 1 Diabetes results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas
Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?
Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.
What kind of disorder is diabetes type 2?
Diabetes type 2 is a metabolic disorder, caused by insulin resistance in the cells of the body, combined with insufficient insulin formation. It is quite a separate disorder than diabetes type 1, which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
What immune system disorders attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas?
Type 1 diabetes
How are Type l DM different from Type ll Diabetes?
Type I diabetes is caused because the beta cells within the pancreas die or stop producing insulin. Therefore individuals with type I diabetes are insulin DEPENDENT because they have to inject insulin into their bodies after meals. Type II diabetes is caused due to the cells in the body becoming insulin insensitive. So although the pancreas is producing insulin, the body cannot respond to it so blood sugar remains high.
Which kind of diabetes is considered an auto immune disease?
in type 1 diabetes, the islet cells of Langerhans, a group of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, are destroyed.
What are the causes of diabetes in children?
Type 1 Diabetes is the type of diabetes that affects 90 o 95% of children under the age of 16. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas is not able to produce insulin. The body's immune system attacks one of its organs and the insulin producing cells are destroyed. You can read more about these causes at http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/diabeteschildren.htm
Is there a cure for type 1 diabetes?
There is now a cure for diabetes type 1 after scientists have discovered to transformed ordinary skin cells into pancreatic cells producing insulin.
What damage to the pancreas can sometimes occur in type I diabetes patients?
Patients with type I diabetes have experienced partial or complete damage to the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.
How does diabetes affect the level of glucose in the blood and in body cells?
The pancreas has cells which produce insulin. Insulin allows the body's cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Diabetes is an auto-immune disease which destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, the body cannot move glucose from the blood stream into cells, where it is needed to produce energy. The result is that glucose builds up in the bloodstream. This is fatal if untreated. NB: there are 2 main types of diabetes. Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is of unknown origin and requires regular injections of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is lifestyle related and is caused by such factors as being overweight and unfit.
